POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN STATISTICAL BIOINFORMATICS
A post-doctoral research position is available for 27 months to work
on an exciting multi-disciplinary research problem spanning systems
biology, statistical bioinformatics and computing science. The
ComparaGRID project is funded by the BBSRC Bioinformatics and
e-Science Programme II for a period of three years and started in
January 2005. The position is available from the end of September 2005
and arises due to the current postholder moving to a lectureship at
Lancaster University. Applicants should have (or be near to
completing) a PhD in Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Computational
Biology or a related discipline. Knowledge of some of Bayesian
statistics, computational statistics, MCMC, software development,
GRID/web services, systems biology, molecular biology and genetics
would be advantageous, but training and support will be available as
required. The appointee will work primarily with Prof RJ Boys, Dr DJ
Wilkinson and Dr M Bhattacharjee (Lancaster) and be based in the
School of Mathematics & Statistics, joining active research groups in
Bayesian statistics and statistical bioinformatics. They will also
enjoy stimulating interaction with other bioinformatics and biological
modelling groups at Newcastle, especially the groups within the School
of Computing Science and the School of Clinical Medical Sciences.
